After some advice, I keep snapping spokes on my Promax/Tb14/Sapim laser 3 cross front wheel (properly tensioned using parkes gauge).

I thinking about respoking with standard non butted spokes in a radial pattern, is this a good idea?

Obviously take Skully's advice and use Comps, but it would still be interesting to know which spokes are breaking, and where.

This particular spoke snapped at the hub end right on the bend, it was on the inside of the hub.

I have the spokes tensioned to 10 on the park tools gauge, this is about right?
